"Hello, my name is Francisco Escudero with Sky Banditz Kiteboarding here in Miami, Florida, you want to learn more about kiteboarding go to www.skybanditz.com. We’ve inflated our inflatable kite and we need to check our bridles real quick. You want to just separate the two bridles, trailing edge, leading edge. Same thing on the other side, just check them out make sure they’re all loose. Now we’re going to grab the bar and we’re going to start to stretch out the lines. We stretched out our lines all the way down here, a little distance from the kite and now we’re going to organize our bar to make sure its setup the right way. We’re going to put the red on the right hand side cause we’re coming from behind the kite and the black on the left hand side. This is the depower loop where you connect yourself, this is the adjustment strap and then we’re going to take our lines, stand in between, two in between your legs, two on the outer so we can walk them through and connect the kite.
